Afternoon guys, did my chassis swap over xmas, is all looking sexy but I got quite a bit of vibration that weren't there before, mainly where sealant and stuff perished and I haven't replaced it as I don't want moisture trapped! I do remember these big chunks of foam inbetween the inner wing...

Just a quick update on this, spoke to the guys, they do sell them seperate, they are 20 quid plus vat a side.

yeah but it says that it comes with the galvanised corner trim and fixings, if you look at their side exit exhausts the pic shows the galvanised piece i'm after.

yup...just didn't know if I'd get slated for posting up links to shops/products...etc. Extreme 4x4 Ltd DEFENDER 90 REAR TUBULAR CORNER BUMPER STEPS

ok scratch that, it is available as a kit....a very expensive kit that includes the rear tubular bumpers, am hopefully going to be able to get them seperate but we'll see!

yeah I was worried that would be the verdict, just seems weird that I've seen the same mod on quite a few 90's

Afternoon guys, taking a break from a naff day at work to do some googling of what I will next do to the landy. I have seen this mod done a few times to challenge 90s, but I have never seen a kit for it, so I just want to ask about if anyone knows of a kit for it. Basically you trim the rear...

Afternoon all! Nearly finished my chassis swap! Woop woop, have hit a slight set back though with the steering system, just infront of the PAS box there is a diagonal cast arm that bolts to the outside of the chassis main rail top and bottom through some tubes welded to the chassis...I think...

Morning guys, maaaaaan that was an interesting hour lifting my 200! Picked up the hoist in the morning from HSS, didn't look bad, set it up, worked out where to put rope and strap (ended up using a really hardcore lorry ratchet strap so we had a bit of adjustment) and then went to lift...

Cheers Keymeister, Yeah I think there is quite a bit more to keep it all from twisting/slipping...etc. Hope your 200tdi was ok after the drop, I know you said it bent a few bits but still! They are supposed to be pretty solid though!

Yep, very much still attached....is that worse? Or is it a right slippery sausage without the boxes or something?

cheers Redhand, I'll let you all know how it goes, gonna probably do it Thursday or Friday so I can get the body back on over the weekend....ready to move house on Wednesday....so no rush!

Sounds like a good plan, saves me getting an engine hoist!

This is scary ****, anyone in the Peterborough area want to earn a box of beers? lol

Ah I see, so balancing it isn't the issue, its the fact that its actual upright position is totally un-natural, I'll try and sort out a point either side of the block where I can fix it from rotating, think I might strop it like I originally said, take up the slack and then loop a rope around it...

Right, well I've got climbing rope (one of my old ones) which I could use, pretty tough stuff, could you recommend 3 points mate? Sorry for the dim questions but obviously don't wanna mess this up! haha

Yeah I'm hoping to do it as low down as possible as I know that they get wobbly when high, was going to get the old chassis nice and low, and likewise lower the engine on the new chassis with it sitting on bump stops minus springs, sound like a good idea? But am I thinking right about using the...

Morning guys, Fricking cold!!! -10 here! And to top it off I'm doing a rechassis on my 200tdi 90, I've stripped the old chassis, built up a new rolling chassis. My 200tdi, gearbox, and trannie are all disconnected and just need lifting from old to new chassis. I'm renting a 500kg engine crane...

Haha, they have got roadworks on my road actually, yoink :) Anywho, will upload a pic later as I am working at the mo, but I shouldn't need anymore than about 6 inches by 3 inches per side I think, it really is just the bottom bit of the panel with the two larger holes through it one on top of...

Curse you! No just kidding, I didn't think you could get them, seems stupid though given its clearly a prone area! Oh well, need to go get me some bits of Ali from somewhere then! Cheers anyways mate
